To bring mankind together in peaceful co-existence on this planet called Earth.


"You are important to other people. You are listened to. You can influence others.
"The happiness or unhappiness of others you could name is important to you.
"Without too much trouble, using this book, you can help them survive and lead happier lives."

The Way to Happiness was specifically written as a non-religious work so that any public or private group can use its message of basic values and lessons to improve conditions in life. The Way To Happiness is appropriate to any cultural background, religious or otherwise, and in any private, public or governmental organization.

The Way to Happiness has been used and endorsed by leaders of many different faiths, as its simple but powerful messages are compatible with and complimentary to all the great religions of the world. Due to its non-religious nature it is also used extensively in public schools, private businesses, government departments such as prisons and probation offices as well as a wide variety of youth and community organizations.

An excerpt from The Way to Happiness:

You, of course, wish to help your contacts and friends.

 Choose someone whose actions, however remotely, may influence your own survival.

 Write the person's name on the top line of the front cover.

 Write or stamp your own name, as an individual, on the second line of the cover.

 Present the person with the booklet.

 Ask the person to read it. You will find he or she is threatened with the possible misconduct of others.

 Give the person several additional copies of this booklet but do not write your name on them: let the other person write his or hers. Have the person present these copies to others that are involved in his or her life.

 By continuing to do this you will greatly enhance your own survival potential and theirs.

 This is a way toward a much safer and happier life for you and others.










Hope for a United and Peaceful Mankind
How to Use This Book
Examples of How You Can Help:


Drugs, crime and violence only thrive in a world that has lost clear concepts of right and wrong. Getting The Way to Happiness into people's hands and its moral code into use reduces these factors.


In Zimbabwe, crowds of people, business owners and police enthusiastically received copies of The Way to Happiness.

California business owners hand out The Way to Happiness with each of their orders — and get very positive response from their customers.
Real Hope for a United and Peaceful Mankind
A united and peaceful world may not happen unless The Way to Happiness becomes widely accepted and used. The lack of clear and certain moral standards has lead to increasing decay and turmoil in our families, neighborhoods and society. The Way to Happiness contains 21 precepts (rules of conduct) that well-intentioned people can recognize as simple, basic truths. These truths offend no one. The truths contained in The Way to Happiness have appeared among races and cultures throughout history. Philosophers from ancient to modern times have spoken and written about them. The Way To Happiness is appropriate to any culture, by people of any religious background (or none) and in any private, public or governmental organization.

We invite you to join the campaign. Reversing the social and moral decay in our society will require many, many creative and dedicated people implementing their ideas broadly. It will take many thousands of volunteers and full-time staff and it will take financial support – for, without money, little is really accomplished in our modern world.

The Way To Happiness campaign will only go as far as you and people like you join in and help create a safer and saner environment. We invite you to join the campaign. We believe that the goal of a decent and moral society is worth working for.

Your hopes for a united and peaceful mankind may not happen unless The Way to Happiness becomes widely accepted and used.
